[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like this in late July are so predictable. People calling for school closures and doom are an extremist minority who are detached from reality. It’s like a cult at this point.[/quote]

Unfortunately there are ALOT of parents and public health official as like this in Montgomery County.  Too many.  And they have very loud voices.  Our kids suffered for two years because of these ‘doom and gloom’ parents/public health officials.

I would hope that we know to ignore them by now, but I am not certain and could see schools having issues with closures due to quarantines, etc.  [/quote]

There’s no regional company on this any more. None of the other school region message boards even have a Covid thread on their first page. Fortunately, we now have a Superintendent that couldn’t care less what the hypochondriacs and shutins think. [/quote]

It’s like you’re not even listening to what the actual problem is. The problem isn’t COVID itself… it’s that with sickness comes a staffing crisis. You cannot have open school buildings without anyone to run the schools. Or you do and you herd 100s of kids into auditoriums in the name of “education” bc many morons here think an open building automatically equals education. It doesn’t. If you actually cared about the education aspect, you’d realize this. Otherwise what you’re really saying is you’re just concerned with free babysitting and using “education” as the guise. [/quote]

Except ... we went through that insane Omicron peak without shutting schools down.  I'm in DC and there were a few cases of grades/classrooms shutting down, reports of kids being herded together while teachers were out, but vast majority were fine. It's patently absurd to claim that we should go virtual in order to avoid kids having to be in the auditorium for a few days.  Competely upside-down reasoning. [/quote]

You think kids were learning those days and you think its a good idea to keep large groups of kids together during a surge??[/quote]
